- Thread-topic: Address Book scripting --- SPAM ALERT
Since Bernardo began scripting emails I have suddenly began receiving spam
on my 2 email accounts. It seems very likely to me that Bernardo has
compromised my email address(es).
These emails have subject lines like:
february 12-16, 2006: quality assurance and management
january 15-17, 2006: healthcare service management for manufacturing and
service companies
healthcare service management <email@hidden>

Bernardo has apologized for the spam originating from his company, but it
looks like another recipient has harvested my address from his mass mailing.
Has anyone else received these spams? I was in his address book, only those
who personally helped him with scripts would have the honor of being
spammed.
Even if Bernardo had no intention to compromise anyone's personal
information it is all to easy to make a mistake with scripting. Spammers
routinely harvest all cc'd addresses from emailed to add to their list of
recipients, that is probably what happened to me.
I also must take the opportunity to berate "has". On every scripting forum I
participate in the requests to script email sending are treated with the
utmost suspicion. This is exactly why.
